About Us

Hi, I'm Samantha Bellerose. I was a primary school teacher and now I am a stay-at-home mom to my four kids. Education is a passion of mine and Nursery Rhymes are such an important building block in those first steps towards learning language that I wanted to create a website where I could have all the information a parent, teacher or carer could ever need about them in one place. And so I created Nursery Rhyme Central! I hope you find the information I have gathered and created as useful as my family and I do!
